I'm here because I'm sure that it's new connections that make people travel, not sightseeing. Well that too of course – but it's pretty hard to experience the culture of any country without getting to know its people, and Couchsurfing is definitely a good way to do so.

The funny thing about being a journalist (and actually working in the sphere) is that you slowly get involved in everything – first you write about stuff and then you just dive in deeper and deeper. I'm a huge movie fan with immense love for sports, classical literature and gothic architecture. Recently I got insanely interested in economics – but deep inside I'm still a 100% linguistics geek and learning bits of random foreign languages is my main hobby.
